The fires in California are impacting the cannabis crops as some farmers are seeing their farms burn down, while others watch helplessly as ash and smoke contaminate sensitive marijuana flowers. The fires in Mendocino are south of the famed Humboldt County grows, but it’s still a part of what is known as the Emerald Triangle.
“Spark Farm in Glen Ellen was completely devastated,” said Kristin Nevedal, Founding Chair of the International Cannabis Farmers Association, a group of farmers and scientists that promote sun-grown cannabis products. “Phone service is interrupted and cell phones are only working intermittently. It’s hard for people to communicate.” Kristin noted that for some farmers there are tremendous losses because they are homesteaders and the fire could affect their water source.https://www.forbes.com/sites/debraborchardt/2017/10/11/california-fires-destroy-cannabis-crops-at-harvest-time/#34d218fc30a1
